| Description of the problem | I am the owner of a 2011 hyundai sonata limited. Within the last 2 days it has not started 4 times. The message screen within the car says "press brake to start". It will not allow me to depress the brake peddle at all, to have the engine start. Many dash system lights go on, but the car will not start. The electrical system definitely has an issue. I looked on the internet to see if others have experienced the same problem.. I am still in shock!!!! Hundreds from all over the usa have had the same problem and from what i read nothing has been done to correct this problem. I drive 100 miles to work and i must have a reliable car. Here is a beautiful looking car sitting in our garage not able to start!!! This is really a problem. Please register this complaint and hopefully hyundai is doing something to help us poor folks that bought these cars. *kb |
